Our Philosophy | Manucurist

Nail color the new way

Made in France with love

A female-founded
family story ♡

"Everything started in Paris, 1996 when my mum opened Manucurist: her first professional nail salon. Immersed in this world, I began to observe long conversations between women and notice some common concerns: little time for selfcare, disappointment with classic polish, damage from gel application & removal...

After working in the luxury space for companies like Louis Vuitton, Prada and YSL, I took over the business in 2016, with the goal of integrating my passion for color, experience in luxury fashion and focus on health and sustainability. I wanted to keep the pleasure associated with this self-care moment – whether in a salon or at-home – with the 1st green and clean alternative to gel polish. It was a big challenge but I’m happy to say we achieved the products we always dreamed of!

A True Revolution ⚡️"
